This server is called Chilltown and it really feels like a chill place. It is a survival multiplayer world where people like to go on adventures and build cool stuff together. The community feels friendly and pretty inclusive so it does not feel sweaty or toxic.
The world is custom made so it is not just normal Minecraft terrain. There are custom biomes and custom structures so when you explore you see a lot of different views and places that look really good. Exploring feels more rewarding because there is more loot and more to find.
The server uses seasons that change the terrain every 90 days. This makes the world feel more alive because things do not stay the same forever. It also means you can get a fresh experience without the server being super harsh or punishing.
There are custom mobs and custom enchants so combat and gear feel a bit different than vanilla. You also get daily rewards so it feels good to log in often. Land claiming is done by chunks so you do not need to mess with a golden shovel and it helps protect builds.
They have a community chest and a community discord server so people can share stuff and talk more. The owners really focus on not being pay to win so it does not feel like people can just buy their way to the top. Overall it looks like a cozy place if you like adventure and building with a nice group of players.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGarden SMP Lives RP Worldbuilding

The Garden SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that is built for worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It uses plugins to add extra flavor while still feeling like survival.
You start with 3 lives and you only lose them through PvP. If you run out you become a ghost and the story keeps going. Players can also bring someone back using a craftable revival book.
Some vanilla stuff is turned off to help roleplay like no Elytra and no Ender chests. This makes travel and building roads and towns matter more and it pushes players to interact.
There are lots of extras like locking chests with keys and making lockpicks to break in. You can set up chest shops brew alcohols and beers and even tame any mob as a pet.
When you join you wake up above the clouds then you stick the landing and go down the Monolith to begin. You can pick a race for your character like elf halfling merfolk giant or human then you wake on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna. From there you can sail to the mainlands and claim land or live in a town with others.
The vibe is relaxed with optional challenges and it is not pay to win. Staff and mods are active and the community is small but thriving.

I found TerraScape SMP and it is a peaceful survival server for Java players. It is mostly vanilla and it keeps things chill since pvp is only allowed if both people agree.
